The post Why Rory McIlroy has not seen Happy Gilmore 2 even though he\u2019s in it<\/a> appeared first on ClutchPoints<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n Professional golfer Rory McIlroy<\/a> made his film debut playing a fictionalized version of himself for Adam Sandler<\/a>\u2019s Happy Gilmore 2. The film hit Netflix last month, and the 2025 Masters champion shared that he still hasn\u2019t seen it.<\/p>\n I\u201d haven\u2019t even watched the movie yet, because I don\u2019t want to see myself trying to act,\u201d McIlroy said on The Running Interview Show with Kate Mackz on Thursday, August 21. \u201cI am going to try and watch it this week maybe but it was an amazing experience.\u201d<\/p>\n Happy Gilmore 2 is the sequel to Sandler\u2019s 1996 sports comedy classic. McIlroy had nothing but praise to give to Sandler for making the set a comfortable place for everyone.<\/p>\n \u201cAdam Sandler is the best, he\u2019s such a nice guy,\u201d McIlroy continued. \u201cHe made us feel so comfortable but I am not going to give up my day job anytime soon. \u2026 I think that\u2019s the great thing about being in this position, you get to be in the company of the people that are the best at what they do whether it\u2019s Sandler in acting or whether you admire other sportspeople at the top of their game \u2026 to be able to spend a little bit of time with them.\u201d<\/p>\n McIlroy was not alone as other professional golfers such as John Daly, Scottie Scheffler, Will Zalatoris, Collin Morikawa, Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Thomas, Brooks Koepka, Keegan Bradley, Rickie Fowler, Jordan Spieth, Xander Schauffele, and Corey Pavin also starred in the film. Musicians Bad Bunny, Eminiem, and Post Malone made an appearance as well as Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 Travis Kelce. McIllroy added that the original film held a special place in his heart.<\/p>\n \u201cHappy Gilmore was the golf movie for me growing up,\u201d the athlete said during a May appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. \u201cI can recite pretty much every line. So the fact that I got the opportunity to do that was awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI felt like Happy Gilmore 2 for him was like a pro-am,\u201d he continued. \u201cHe was producing, he was directing, he was acting. He was trying to coach us through what to do. It was a full-time job for him, but he\u2019s a true pro.\u201d<\/p>\n Happy Gilmore 2 is out on Netflix now.<\/p>\n Related: Josh Allen shares heartwarming moment with young fan in viral Hard Knocks moment<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
